Serial No. 227,559.

This invention relates to coating machines and is herein illustrated as embodied in a machine for 'applying cement to boot and shoe parts of the type shown inUnited States Leti ters Patent No. 1,380,361, granted June 7,1921, upon myy application. An object ofthe present invention is to provide an improved machine y for `coating one or both surfaces of piecesv of Work and'` doing itv more expedie 410 tiously regardless'L of whetherf thepieces are rigid or'iiexible. i v

In some factories,'notably4 those devoted to the making of yrubber shoes, various sizes and shapes of pieces lare coated with cement and 15 thendelivered to a long conveyor vforexample, one extending `'across'the factory, in order to give-the coating awchance to dry enough to make it practicable to handle vthe lpieces before it is necessary for an assistant operator '20 to remove the coatedpieces from the convey" or. The pieces are removed manually from this drying conveyor4 and placed in books in which the numberof'pieces necessary for one lot ofrshoesfis accumulated and trans '25? ferred to the operator Who Will later make up the shoes.l Some of Vthese pieces of Work are very iexible and correspondingly hard to feed into the machine smoothly. Accordingf l 30 niachine at a considerable Vrate of speed because of the 'fact' that ,pieces are removed promptly and steadilyby the lon gdrying con@ veyor,iit is found desirable .to provide the cel inenting machinejvvith short presenting and '352 delivery vconveyors so that Vthe operator. can

lay such flexible piecesupon a presenting 'conveyor rather than pushing them betvveen the rolls, thereby'feeding the pieces ofworlrtol the machine faster Without danger andy so that the vvorkcan be transferred to the drying conveyor Without ,requiring it to be touched by the operatonf Since vthere is no uniform relation between the level of the dryingcon ,.45 veyor in the factory and the level'of the de-v livery conveyor of the machine, ,itV is found y in some instances that the drying conveyor maybe so far belovv the delivery :conveyor that there is a.l tendency for the pieces of Work 501 to buckle or to fold over upon themselves as' since it is possible to drive the cementing n they pass from the delivery conveyor to the drying conveyor. Y f i To overcome this difculty and in accord` ance With a feature of the invention, the illustrated improved machine is Aprovided With' a delivery conveyor Which is supported in a novelmanner so that it may be set at various n angles vvvithrespectto the machine tobring its delivery end into just the desired relation to the level of the drying conveyor;VV This done, there is no difficulty about the smooth pas-y sage of the pieces from the delivery conveyor to the surface of the drying conveyor. Other features of the invention reside. in the pro-V vision of'a detachably .mounted supporting frame for' the delivery conveyor so that said conveyor may be removed-for cleaning Without disturbing theadjustments of its supports, and an arrangement for driving the delivery conveyor from'the machine .by

connections'to the rotatable support at the outer end of the conveyor so that the upper` run of the conveyor is maintained taut. s

Theoperators of cementing machines inl shoe factories and the like'are young boys 7 and girlsvvho are not supposed to bel skilled mechanics.v At the Sametime, it is inherent .in the operation of such machines that numer-` ous adjustable and movable parts Will become smeared With cement during the use of the machine -so that for the best operation of the machine, they shouldbe removed and cleaned every night at the close ofwork. If, however, it is necessary to goto considerable trouble to do this'cleaning,` the operators will neglect it and and gummed up that there vvill be a breakage of partsvvhen it is startedagain inthe morn. ing. Along with this diiiiculty, there is the difficulty thatl the adjustable parts are knot likely to be properly readjusted if it is neces-` "become coated With cement, constructed .and

arranged to allow` the removal of saidfparts and their repositioning-onthe machine Wit-hthe ma'chinemay be soicloggedA d y 'lo .out disturbing their predetermined adjustments. As illustrated, the adjustable parts are mounted upon the machine by means ot' removable pivots and are arranged to contact with an adjustable abutment, clamping means being provided to hold them against this abutment.

A machine of this general type may conveniently be arranged so that its upper roll issupplied with cement in a manner similar to that disclosed in theLetters Patent, to which reference has been made above. ln that machine, the upper cement applying roll closes the open side of an auxiliary upper fountain receptacle, the edges of the open side of which arefbrought into close relation to the roll to prevent the accidental leakage of cement. Y

Still another feature. of the invention resides in an improved arrangement for controlling the amount of cement taken `out of the receptacle by the roll, in accordance with which the upper receptacle is lpivotally mounted upon the machine so that'the :position of the bottom edge of the openside'thereof with respect to the `roll 'may be adjusted,

thereby to control the quantity Voi" cement.

Preferably,V and .as illustrated. means comprising an adjustable-abutment and a Vclamp for holding the receptacle in cont-act ivi-th this abutment are provided for determining the position of the receptacle.

In the illustrated machine, in accordance with still other features of the invention, cement is supplied tothis upper receptacle by means of an inverted barometric supply tank, the neckof 'which dips intothe end 'of the receptacle. This barometric tank 'is provided with a control valveV and is tiltably mounted upon the frame of the machine. so that it may be tipped to an `iuoright position for filling. -A .tiltable cover is vprovided forA the roll and certain cooperating adjustable parts of the machine and, for convenience, this coveris connected to the barometric tank by means-oi:` a lin-k so that the tipping of the tank to upright position automatically raises the cover, it being understood that 'access to the adjustable parts is usually desired at a time when the tank is inverted, to wit, at the close of the days work.

These and other features of the invention will now be set :torth in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which,V

Fig. 1 is an angular view of the whole'machine with parts broken away, Y

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the right side of the machine,

Fig. r3 is 'an enlarged side elevation of the left side showing the vends Vof the applying rolls and various adjustable parts associated therewith, and Y y Fig. 4 is a detailed view or" one ofthe work strippers on an enlarged scale.

My improved machine, being arranged so that it may be used as a double cementer to coat opposite faces of pieces of work, isprovided with superposed applying rolls 10 and 12 between which the pieces of work pass as they are presented thereto by the presenting conveyor 14. The machine `may be used to coat only one side of each piece .by vsupplying `cement to only one of the rolls. A delivery conveyor `16 receives the coated pieces of work and deposits them upon the upper lrun of one end of a wirermesh'drying conveyor 18 passing over a drum 20. This drying conveyor 18 takes the coated pieces to a distant point where they are removed manually and placed inbooks for subsequent use.

The lowerlroll 12 is journaledin the; sides ofa cement receptacle 22 and the amount of cement lifted out of the receptacle by .the knurled surface of the roll is controlled by means of -a- .scraper edge 24 (Fig. 5) upon a cover 26 (Fig. 2) which is .slidingly mounted on the receptacle and may be adjusted by means of a hand wheel 28. ALateral eXtensions 25 (Fig. 1) `on the cover 26 are arranged to scrape the ends ofthe roll 12 and are heldA down by screws. The presentlng conveyor 14is made 11p-of .a pluralityofmetallic link chains placed ,sideby .side and arranged to pass over -sprockets 30 placed side by side upon spindles 32 and 34 mounted vat opposite ends vof a frame .36. This frame 36 is secured to the upper ,side of the cover 26 and. springs 38 are provided for tensioning the lchains of the .conveyor by pushing outwardly 'studs which .support the spindle 32, it being understood that after the chains have been tensionedv the studs are held in outward position lby means ot set screws 40. It `will be observed romFig. l that the lower receptacle 22 maybe lled by removing a cover 42 and that Awhen it is de-` sired to drain said receptacle for cleaning conveyor is detachably secured by means-of bolts 50 .to the arms of adjustable brackets '52 (one of these being removed in Fig. 2 for clearness) When itis desiredto removethe delivery conveyor for clean1ng,r1t 1s only necessary to remove the two bolts 50 and no adjustment is disturbed. These brackets 5 2 are Ypivoted upon studs 54 and one of them 1s provided with an elongated slot `56 so that the angle of the delivery conveyor 16.1nay

be adjusted to bring it to just the desired relation to thejdrying conveyor 18 .so that the coated pieces of workwill beVlaid latupon' the dryingconveyor. A. clamping bolt 58 Y provides means by which the adjusted position of the ydeli-very conveyor may be maintained.

In order to. prevent `pieces. of work from clinging to the applying roll 12 and passing ondown into the receptacle, a work stripper cooperating with the surface of the roll is provided, which will be later more fully described, and the space between the applying; roll 12 and the end of the conveyor 16 is bridged by means of a transfer roll 62 journaled in upstanding arms of the bracketsl 52. This transfer roll is provided with wide deep grooves between a seriesof disk-like ridges or ribs so that there is little Contact between it and the work and consequently practically no tendency for the work to stick to it.

. The stripper'bar 60, illustrated more 'fully in'Fig. 4J comprisesa flat bar which has been grooved at'62 t0 provide intermediate ridges 64 extending out rinto pointed teeth 66 and the relation of the bar to a roll withwhich it cooperates is such that the ridges 64 are adjacent to the roll Awith rout contact therewith unless possibly at the very tips 66 of the teetluthus providing' a minimum of pick-up contact between the stripper and the cement roll for the removal of cement therefrom and f removable pivot pins 7 4. The position of the carrying frame 70 is adj ustably determinedby mechanism best shown in Fig. 2 comprising an adjustable abutment screw 7 6 supported. in an upright lip upon the bridge 48 of the conveyor frame against which the frame 70 rests and from which it is freely removable. The abutment 7 6 having once been ad-` justed,V it is 'located in adjusted position by means of a lock nut 7 8, and the upper crossv A.member of the carrying frame 70 contacts with the end of the screw 7 6. kDuring the op-y eration of the machine, this Contact is vmaintained by means -ofa clamping screw/380g lVhen it is desiredl to remove the work stripper and its carrying frame 70 for the Ysake of cleaning it, it will be observed that it is only necessary to loosen the clamping screw and to pull out the pivot pins 74, afterwhich the carrying frame 70,may be taken bodilyv from the machine and'easily cleaned.

When the carrying frame 70 is replaced in the machine, it is only 4necessary to replace the pivot pins 7 4 and to bring the upper cross member of the carrying frame 70 against'the abutment screw 76 and to clamp it in that position by means of the clamping screw 80.

This operation does not change the adjustment of the device at all and only requires a firm pressure of the clamping`v screw 80. Thus, it is possible for even an unskilled 0perator to Ytake the'frame out and to clean -it and the simplicity of the operationencourages keeping the machine in good order.

Inasmuch as the delivery conveyor must necessarily pick up some cement from the' pieces of work carried by it, it has been found desirable to provide a cleaning roll 82-which is loosely held between pivoted arms 84 (Fig.

y2) which are spring-pressed upwardly to 'zoy The upper applying roll 10 is journaled in the sides of a sub-frame which is pivotally mounted on stud bolts 92 carried in upstanding` brackets 94 forming a part of the lower-receptacle 22. The sub-frame 90 is provided with a transverse bridge 96 (Fig.

1) and with a depending toe 98 (Fig. 3), by means of which the position of the frame and its :upper roll 10 are determined. This toe 98 rests against an adjustable stop screwV 100.

The stop screw 100 is threaded in arbushing 102 carried in a lug 104 upon one of the brack-` ets 94. The position of the stop screw 100 may be adjusted by means lof a hand-wheel 106 slidably and non-rotatably connected to said screw by means-of a transverse bolt 108 passing'through a slot 110 in the-screw. The handle 106 is held on thefscrew 100 by means of a spring 114 interposed between the bolt Y 108 and a cotter pin 111 and the lower edge of the hand wheel is notched or toothed at 112 to engage a pointed opposing stud or 104. The spring 114 located withina recess tooth (not shown) which is carried in the lug of the hand-wheel 106 bears against the transf verse bolt 108 to press the notched end 112 of the handle into normal engagement with this stud thereby forming a sort of locking ratchet to prevent displacement of the' adjusted position of the screw until the handwheel is pulled up against the tension of the spring 114. A light tension spring 116 12 in case theoperator'is careless in adjusting the stop screw 100.l j

The upper roll 10 is provided with a work stripper 120 exactly similar to the stripper g 60 already described except that it is placed in inverted position and this stripper 120 is carried in a frame 122 which is supported by means of removable pivot pins 124. The upper portion of the frame 122 rests, against an adjustable abutment 126 land. is clamped is interposed between the main frame of the f i machine and the sub-frame 90 in order to 'n lEt against this vabutment by means of a clamping screw 128 carried in atransverse bracket 130 ysecured to the bridge 96 of the sub-frame The supply of cement to the upper roll position of the receptacle being -determined by means ofan upright arm 136 integral with a rod extending across the receptacle. .The upper end ofthe arm 136 rests against an adjustable abutment 138 where it is held by means of locking means in the form of a clamping screw 140. It will be observed from Fig. 3 that the lower edge of the open side of the receptacle is provided with a packing felt 142 backed up by a strip of metal 144 vand the compression of the felt is determined by screws 146 bearing. against this strip of metal. taken out of the receptacle by the upper roll 1.0 is determined by the relation of the loweredge of the open side ofthe receptacle to the down-going side of the roll 10 and this in turn is determined by the position of the receptacle itself as it is adjusted by adjusting the abutment 138 and bringing the upright arm 136 into contact therewith. The lateral edges ofthe open side -of the receptacle overlap the ends of the roll 10 and areV provided with Ypacking felts held between the if ribs 148 shown in dotted lines in Fig; 3. Set

screws 150 are provided to press against these lateral packing strips to determine the pressure thereofl against the'roll.

Since the capacity Vof the open-sided fountain receptacle 132 is limited, it is found desirable to provide -an additional automatic supply of cement thereto and this is effected by positioning a barometric supply tank 152 in such a position that its neck 154 dips into fr the receptacle 132 and supplies cement thereto to a level 156 indicatedY by the dotted line in Fig. 3. A cover 158 for the receptacle 132 is formed integrally upon the neck 154. The barometric tank 152 has V.a lateral lug 160 (Figs. 1 and 2), by means of which it is pivotally mounted upon a bolt 162 carried on the main frame ofthe machine so that it isV possible to invert the tank by tilting it around this pivot bolt. An adjustable stop screw 164 .is provided in a depending portion of the lug 160 and this screw is arranged to contact with. a portion of the frame-of the `machine to determine the upright position ofthe tank andhence the position of the level 156'in the receptacle, the main frame Vof the machine forms a rest for the tank 152 when it has been tipped over for filling. In order to prevent anoutflow of cement as the tank is tipped over7 a valve 168 with an operating handle 170 is mounted r`he quantity of cement,

Another stop 166 located upon in the zneck 154 sothat the remaining cement in the tank maybe held therein as the tank is tipped over. A cover 172 is provided vfor the roll 10 and the adjacent parts including the transverse bridge 96 and the adjustable abutments 126 and 138 secured therein, this cover being piv-'o'tally mounted. on Va .stud 174. (Fig. 1) .and extending overthe whole length of the bridge 96 to a point just above the removable pivot pinse124 and 134 (Fig. i Since -it is usually desired .to get at the clamping screws 128 and 140 at the same time that the tank 152is tipped back, a connecting link 17 6 is provided between Athe cover .and said tank152, this linkl being slotted to engage a screw 178extending laterally from the vlug 160. Thuswhenthe operator Wants to leave the machine for the night, the flow of Vcement from the tank 152 may be cut 0H by operating the handle 170 Vand the tank may be tipped back, thereby` lifting lup the cover 172 and giving access to the clamping screws 128 and 140. In order to empty the upper receptacle 132, the cover v26 ofthe lower receptacle 22 is drawn back by means of the operating' handle 28 and one of the pivot: pins-134 for the upper receptacle is withdrawn to allow the cement to flow outV from the crack between the packing felt 142 and the upper roll. This cementwill run over the surface of the lower roll down into the lower vreceptacle where it may be kept for the night if desired, or, of course,rfrorn which it may be drained oftby removing the cover 44 (Fig. 1). After the cement has flow-ed out of the upper receptacle, the latter may be wholly removed by loosening the clamping screw 140 and taking out the other pivot pin 134. In actual'practice, it is found thatit is most convenient to leave this upper receptacle 132 on the machine during the night andthat in the morning the slight amount of cement remaining in said upper receptacleV has formed itself into-a sort ofskin which.

may be rubbed oif without any trouble.

The machine may be drivenV from any Vsuit-V able source of power through Va drive shaft 180V (Fig.` 2) upon which is mounted a gear 182 meshing with a gear 184 on the "shaft 186 of the upper roll 10. A gear 188 Amounted on the shaft 190, of the vlower roll 12 is also driven from the shaft 180 through an interposed idler '192. On this same shaft 190 there is provided a gear 194 meshing With the sprocket shaft 204 with the sprocket shaft 208 at the outer end of said conveyor thus driving said conveyor from its outer end and keeping taut the upperyrun of the con-l veyor chains. It will be seen thus that the directiony of the motion of the presenting conveyorpllll and the yrolls 10 and 12,. the transfer roll 62 and the delivery conveyor are all such as to cause-a steady progress of the pieces of work through the machine. The operator presenting work to the machine deposits the various pieces upon the conveyor 14 without danger of getting in contact with the cement rolls and the pieces of work after passing between the applying rolls-l0 and l2 are removed therefrom, if' necessary, by the workstrippers rand 120 vand pass over the transfer roll 62 to thel delivery conveyor 16, from which theyy are dropped onto the drying Conveyor 18- f f Having-thus described my invention, what Igclaiinjs new and desireto secure by LettersPatent of the United States is: n
